First Meal: It’s Tuesday and that means it’s time for another episode of It’s All About Food. We ate our Rolled Oats with Apples, Soy Milk and Walnuts today and I read the new Bish Bash Bosh cookbook to prepare for the show. Second Meal: Gary joined me in the second part of the…
First Meal: We will only be here a few more days and there is not a lot of food remaining. We had a simple bowl of Rolled Oats with Raisins and Soy Milk, topped with a little Jam. I had made a big pot of Black Beans and took a bowl to eat after my…

First Meal: Gary’s cousin Nancy gave us Zucchini from her garden when we first arrived. I have been wanting to make Zucchini Corn Cakes ever since and finally got the chance. They are yummy, especially with Tahini Dressing on top. We had a few. They are very filling. Second Meal: Third time’s a…
Morning Tea Roy’s Station is a happy place. It always feels good to be here. It’s a beautiful morning and our last day of teaching. We left the house early and had tea at Roy’s. My new tea of choice is the Peach Apricot. It’s supposed to be a black tea blend but I don’t…
First Meal: We don’t always eat in the morning. I might grab an Apple or drink some water with Lemon. After Gary’s acting class in the morning and before my afternoon voice class, we met at “The Steps of the Palace” at Hoover for Rice Cakes, Peanut Butter and Apricot Jam. I am grateful for…
First Meal: We have three days left of workshop classes before our Showcase Performance on Saturday. We have five days left until the reading of Gary’s play, Bad Hemingway by the Bay. The fatigue is setting in. Somehow last year I did a better job of preparing food for our workdays. I am slipping! At…
First Meal: Up at 8am again and off to the theater. We stopped at Roy’s Station for tea. We didn’t stay long and brought our teas with us. I had packed our soaked Oats, with Blueberries, Figs and Apples that we ate outside on “The Steps of the Palace.” Second Meal: With our day…
First Meal: The second week of our California theater class has begun. We left the house and went to Roy’s Station for our hot drinks. The energy at Roy’s Station is special and we like starting the day here. We had breakfast outside under the big tree at the theater. As promised I cooked…
First Meal: It’s our one day off and we began with the usual all-organic Rolled Oats with Blueberries, Walnuts, Figs, Bananas and Soy Milk. Tea: Do you know the way to San Jose? And once you are there, do you know your way around? Today we are touring San Jose. We started in Japantown…
First Meal: It’s Saturday and Gary and I are finishing up our first week of the theater workshops we are teaching in California. I am ready for a vacation! The students are wonderful and teaching is fun but working day and night gets tiring pretty fast. I had a quick breakfast of Red Lentil Plop…
First Meal: The weekend is almost here, but since we are working on Saturday, it doesn’t mean much. We are up at 8am and had our Rolled Oats with Bananas, Blueberries, Strawberries, Figs and Soy Milk at the house. Second Meal: Our lunch in the sun on “The Steps of the Palace” was an…
First Meal: We were ready for breakfast this morning so I prepped our Rolled Oats with Soy Milk, Strawberries, Blueberries, Walnuts and Figs and brought it with us to the theater. We had time before class to eat outside. Second Meal: Skipping lunch, I was super hungry when the day class ended and fueled…
First Meal: And our routine starts again. Up at 8am, feeling a bit weary. I make us the all-organic bowl of Rolled Oats with Soy Milk, Blueberries, Bananas, Strawberries and Raisins. It’s delicious and I could eat this everyday. Second Meal: Today on “The Steps of the Palace” Gary and I share a big,…
First Meal: Gary and I are teaching workshops in California for the next two weeks. It’s an intensive for the students as well as for Gary and me. Intense for us because we have classes from 10am to 4pm on weekdays and then evening classes from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. We got up at 8am. I…
Green Juice: And the work begins. Our daytime workshop starts at 10am and ends at 4pm. We were up early, on New York time and excited about the day. Gary had to print some things at Kinko’s. I drank a Green Juice while I waited. First Meal: I brought along soaked organic Rolled Oats…
First Meal: We have a day off to get settled and situated before started our theater workshops tomorrow. We are staying behind Gary’s cousin Nancy’s house in an apartment unit she and her husband Wade recently bought and are renovating. Nancy stocked the kitchen with some favorites from Trader Joe’s – organic Oats, organic Raisins,…
First Meal: We have a small grocery across the street where I usually buy melons. I picked up a watermelon and two cantaloupes a few days ago. Carrying them home in the heat was very challenging but worth it. The watermelon was very sweet. The cantaloupe was not. But it was still refreshing. Second…
First Meal: Watermelon is often all I want to eat in this hot and humid weather. I once heard that the white part just underneath the skin is very nutritious. So I made sure I cut the melon close to the skin. I like the combination of the sweet red part and the almost bitter…
First Meal: I am so happy to have our terrace back! I sat out in the morning sun, eating Watermelon and preparing music for the upcoming workshops I will be teaching in California. As the sun got hotter I went back inside and had a small bowl of cold, cooked organic Red Lentils. They…
